There was a recent thread I saw somewhere, with photos, that showed a
SBC V8 being transplanted into an MB. What a butcher job. They had to
cut away way too much for my liking. Things like that should not be
allowed on the road without some form of structural integrity testing. I
am not opposed to individual freedoms but I don't want to be nailed by
some goofball that has his homemade car come apart because he did not
really learn how to weld.

this reminds me about back in the 80s sometimewhen David E. Davis
joined Car & Driver as Editor he was given a similar car that had
received many upgrades. Can't recall if it were a diesel or gas but
is was _definitely _powered by /MB/. C&D had the suspension
lowered, installed AMG wheels (IIRC) and put in a $3000 or $4000 sound
system. They also did heavy window tinting and some custom painting
where i believe the lower area (below the waste Trim) was painted a
darker color - possible brown below and a soft yellow above. I
probably have the C&D issue around if I ever get time to look for this
article i will. I will scan and share it if I ever find it....
re the 300TD with a 383 crate engine -- don't know why they didn't
just repair the MB engine - it would never have cost as much as a 383
crate = or perhaps they just wanted an American V8?
